Furniture consignment stores, as well as resale shops, offer consumers an opportunity to find affordable furniture for their homes, like comfortable leather chairs, antique beds, and more. These stores also offer furniture owners a chance to sell their used products, and to make some money for the next set. Within this trade, there are thrift stores that focus specifically on the types of merchandise they sell, sometimes according to periods, styles, or the material that the furniture is made from. See the list below to get a better idea of some of the designs you might be interested in.

Contemporary and Modern - Resale shops that focus on these two similar styles will have couches, tables, and chairs mainly made of metal, plastic, rubber or similar materials. The lines for these types of furniture are clean and minimalistic.

Country - Consignment stores that stock furniture of this style will focus on pieces created with comfort in mind. Many are influenced by the natural setting, and given a slightly distressed or used look. They seem to be predominately assembled from materials like wicker, oak, pine, and other types of wood.

Baroque - Antiques done in this style generally originate from Italy, and are largely influenced by the Catholic Church art and architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries. These pieces fit in well with homes that feature pillars or noticeable moldings.

Rustic - This style of furniture predominately was developed in the 18th century. Desks, beds, dressers, and other furnishings created in this style are practical, and usually hand assembled. They are strongly influenced by nature, with wood work done to resemble trees, plants, and other natural elements.
